Your Photographer

For over fifteen years, my journey as a photographer has been a dedication to capturing LOVE in all of its beautiful forms, placing creativity, kindness and people's stories at the heart of everything I do. 

Love is the common thread throughout my work...

From romantic love between partners, to the self love & appreciation for our bodies, and to the unconditional love we share with our nearest and dearest, my speciality lies in transforming the seemingly ordinary into timeless, beautiful pieces of art. 

I treat every wedding and portrait session as uniquely and individually as my clients and all of my offerings are customized to you. Building relationships is my favorite part of the job and I truly love getting to know each and every one of you so that your story and personality will shine through in your photos.


If my portfolio and approach resonates with you, it would be a pleasure to get to know you and discuss the possibilities of working together.

"The experience was incredible. From first meeting her for engagement photos to the wedding, Ashley made us feel like we had known her for years. That feeling allowed us to relax better and let our guard down that translated into a truly incredible product.

The photos were most important to us, and they did not disappoint. I could not be any happier with the finished product we have, I love the look, and I love the moments she captured.

Tender moments that may have lasted only a second, we have memorized in film. If you place value in the moments we live, I could recommend Ashley anymore than I do. I can only hope we can capture other life moments together."

"We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ashley of Artistrie Co. for our wedding day!

When we had our initial phone call with her, we instantly connected with her warm demeanor and approach towards photography. On the day of, Ashley and Emmalee brought a sense of joy and ease that was absolutely contagious.

With every interaction, we were left feeling so seen, comforted, and aligned in our vision for how we wanted our weekend to be! We have loved reliving our wedding through her lens and the gallery has brought us such happiness."

"My husband had one vendor request for our wedding and it was Ashley.

After our engagement session and meeting Ashley I knew why he was so particular on our photographer. Her work is breathtaking and worth the investment without a doubt. She took our visions and exceeded our expectations.

She captured every small detail we had on our wedding day and then some. She truly lets her pictures tell a story and I find myself looking at them daily reminiscing on our day.

We are so thankful and blessed she agreed to travel 6 hours to shoot our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat and she is worth in the investment."

—Artistrie Co. Bride

"From the moment that we booked Ashley, she immediately became someone that we didn't have to think or worry about. That in itself was priceless to the both of us. From planning her travels to capturing every minute of our day, Ashley and her team were both present and somehow invisible all at once. How we ended up with hundreds of photos capturing every emotion and detail we will never understand.

In short, the photographs of our wedding are our most prominent memories. It truly was the care, kindness, and love that Ashley poured into the entire experience of a wedding that makes the difference. 

The time, commitment, and experience that Ashley provided calmed our nerves, injected fun and silliness, and provided BEAUTIFUL pictures we will share for the rest of our lives. If you're considering Ashley as your photographer, no reason is a good enough reason to have second thoughts. This will be the best decision you make throughout wedding planning!"

"Ashley captures so much joy in emotion her in photographs that just by looking at the photos, you are instantly taken back to those moments and can actually feel everything you were feeling then.

She is such a breath of fresh air amongst the wedding industry vendors that you will feel like you are speaking with a friend in planning some of the biggest moments of your life. 

You're not just hiring a photographer for one day. You're hiring someone that you trust is going to capture this one-day so that you can relive it forever. Memories fade and photographs are the only things left to show you why you spent so much on that day. Therefore, you are in investing in forever and there is no one that I would trust more for the job than Artistrie Co."
